Actress Shaima Seif spoke about undergoing a “sleeving” operation, especially after she appeared with a thinner appearance during the wedding of director Mohamed Samy’s sister.
Shaima said during television statements: “I had gastric sleeve surgery and I made the decision even though I had the saying, ‘Why should I do a diet when I have pasta with bechamel and chocolate, but I was saying that because my health was good.’”
Shaima continued: “Suddenly, without warning, my legs and knees hurt, and I couldn’t help it. I had terrible pain. I called a doctor and he told me that we must have a joint replacement immediately.”
She continued: “I was depressed and my eyes were tearing up as much as I was upset. I went to another doctor who told me that you need to lose weight. May Kassab encouraged me and told me not to worry, Shaima, and I actually took the step and lost 50 kilos.”
